F3 initial climb rate is probably better because it gets airborne a tad faster. Once it gets above about thirty feet above the ground, I'd have thought the Typhoon would have the edge.

Can't remember the max rate of climb, but if you are flying at 800kts at sea level and pull back, it's about 800kts upwards. Which is a lot. Sustained climb rates in the open source info are probably close enough to reality.
